1. A. strength

The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.

2. D. "Mapping the furrow exactly" 

Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."

Answer: The US economy has been expanding extensively.

Explanation:

The impact of the US economy just before the outbreak of World War I was intense and spread in every direction of the world. The United States was the largest exporter of cotton, wheat, and some other agricultural products. The development of the industry has made US goods competitive and much cheaper than the European market.

Leading US companies such as International Harvester, Singer, Du Pont, Bell, Colt, and Standard Oil have been technologically equal or often better than any in the world. During this period, New York, which was the leading economic port of the world, distinguished itself and distinguished itself as the financial center of the united states. During this period (specifically in 1912), US military intervention took place in Nicaragua, all to protect the economic interests of the united states.
